How this works

The 50/30/20 rule is a popular budgeting framework: 50% for needs (rent, food, transport, utilities), 30% for wants (entertainment, shopping, dining out), and 20% for savings and investments. City-adjusted values reflect realistic living costs in different Indian cities. CTC to in-hand conversion assumes ~28% deductions (12% EPF employee + 12% EPF employer + tax + professional tax). Actual take-home depends on your tax slab and company benefits.
